I couldn&#39;t believe when I stepped on the scale and it read OVER 250 lbs :oO <br /><br />I have literally done nothing except eat healthy, mainly plant-based, and worked out 4 times a week and have lost this amount so far. It&#39;s motivating to continue, but VERY hard at times - that&#39;s how I know I&#39;ve been addicted, because when I think about certain food (hello - PIZZA! lol) it&#39;s like my brain is just fiending for it!<br /><br />I have gone cold-turkey from junk / processed food, as I truly believe I have to treat this like any other addiction in order to be (long-term) successful. As someone else said, it&#39;s easy to lose the weight, but I don&#39;t want short-term success. It truly has to be a lifestyle change! You wouldn&#39;t give an alcoholic a &quot;sip&quot; of booze in recovery, so I feel with food it has to be the same method - get rid of it fully while your body changes, and your tastebuds &#39;reset&#39; :) <br />Thanks for a great post, and congratulations on your 5 year anniversary - you should be so proud of yourself :D<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8886609594320917604.post-23045136884757870182015-01-12T15:25:42.352-07:002015-01-12T15:25:42.352-07:00Happy Anniversary and congrats for your continued ...Happy Anniversary and congrats for your continued journey.

I became a food addict as a child, as I used food to cope. It took many forms over my life, and I&#39;m still working on it. Right now I&#39;m getting close to a normal weight for the first time in many years. You are an inspiration. Thanks for sharing.E.
